Gerard Butler Has Evil Twin

Just 10 years ago Gerard Butler was playing a random Seaman in a James Bond movie and now he’s going to be calling the shots at his own production company. Butler and his manager, Alan Siegel, have formed Evil Twins with the intention of developing movies for Butler and others. Variety notes that the first project is a thriller called Law Abiding Citizen.

The Thomas Crown Affair and The Recruit writer, Kurt Wimmer, wrote the screenplay for Law Abiding Citizen. Butler will play an assistant District Attorney who is involved in a vigilante plot created by someone screwed over by the legal system. Other Evil Twins movies in development are Teacher Man, based on the book by Frank McCourt, and Hanging Tale, written by Groundhog Day co-writer Danny Rubin.

Siegel realizes why this production company is being brought into existence. “We're thrilled at the opportunity that Gerry's career has given us to make our own films,” he noted. It’s possible that Butler will develop many wonderful films that will entertain audiences for years on end. Hey, we can hope.

I wish both Mr. B. and Mr. Siegel a bountiful business venture together. Now, Mr. B., you'll be able to pick and choose your own greatly written scripts. You are the finest and most versatile actor I've seen in recent years and have a personality to match. Just keep it humble. (smile) Give Lolita a hug and a pat on her head for me. She's sweet and adorable. Go..........................Mr. B.

Yes, he has paid his dues. the success of 300 has made it possible for Gerard to finally get the recognition, the clout, the financing and the power to form his own production company where he will be able to choose the best roles for his talent. He's done his quota of sword and sandal and action films. Let's have some meaty dramas now. Hopefully, he will now be able to get "Burns" produced.
